Juventus defender Patrice Evra spoke highly of his ex Manchester United team-mate, after Carlos Tevez won and scored the second-half penalty that sealed a 2-1 victory for the Serie A side in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.

Speaking to ITV Sport after the game, Evra said the following about the Argentine, “Carlos Tevez is like myself: United blood. He’s a champion and he’s working hard, he’s a very good professional.”
